NEW YORK TIMES
— What Reparations for Slavery Might Look Like in 2019 – Patricia Cohen (DIERSEN: To pay reparations is to pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. Who hints/implies/argues/shouts that you should pay reparations, that is, that you should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion and why? My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should pay reparations, that is, that I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. They stress that I am White, male, old (born in 1948), Republican, conservative, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), non-poor, 100% German national origin, draft avoider, retired, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.).

EUREKA TIMES STANDARD
— On ‘Seeking: digital natives’ – ANGELA COPELAND (DIERSEN: How long have you had your email address? I have had diersen@aol.com for more than 24 years, since January of 1995 when I was 46 years old. How long have you owned a computer system? I have owned a computer system since 1982 when I was 34 years old. While I worked for GAO during the 1990s, before GAO provided its staff with computer systems, I bought several computer systems and used them in my office. I published Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) first website in 2000 and served as MTRCC’s webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I published Milton Township’s first website in 2001 and served as its webmaster 2001-2003. I served as Illinois Center Right Coalition’s webmaster 2004-2006. I have been sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails since 2000 and publishing copies of them at www.gopillinois.com since 2005. I have been on Facebook since January of 2009.)
https://www.times-standard.com/2019/05/26/career-corner-seeking-digital-natives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This term makes sense at first. But, the definition of a digital native, according to Dictionary.com, is “a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet from an early age.” Those who are turning forty this year probably started to use the internet around 1995, when they were sophomores in high school — if they were lucky. That was in the time of the dial-up modem and America Online. Their parents were ahead of the game to have a home computer then. In all likelihood, they really began to use computers when they went to college. It should be noted that I’m omitting early Mac computers and things like Atari for the purposes of this column. I’m talking about the real-deal internet. Digital natives had the internet in elementary school or middle school. Wikipedia says digital natives “are often used to describe the digital gap in terms of the ability of technological use among people born from 1980 onward and those born before.” By this definition, a digital native would be 38 years old or younger today. Let that soak in. A job description that specifically requests that someone is 38 years old or less. Why does this happen? I don’t have the answer for you. I’d like to know this myself. I thought that the idea of a job posting was to hire someone with a certain skillset rather than a certain age. I also heard this rumor that discriminating on the basis of age when hiring is not allowed. In fact, I think there may be something called the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.)

Previously, they wanted the following to do that: TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, and American Association of Political Consultants.)

BUSINESS NEWS DAILY
— How Can You Tell if a Job Candidate Is Lying About Their Credentials? – Adam C. Uzialko
https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/11314-background-check-candidate-credentials.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When employers don’t want to conduct candidate verification themselves or feel it would be better handled by a professional third party, there are background check services. These companies are available to screen candidates, usually for a per-candidate fee, and provide background check reports for the employer’s review. Background checks generally review criminal history at the federal and state level, as well as verify past employment and educational attainment. “Manual verification of job candidates, especially in high-volume situations, may be impractical,” Chancey said. “For best results, employers should consider partnering with a reliable background screening vendor. Look for a vendor whose screening platform is easy to use and takes out the hassle of verifying multiple candidates, integrates with other HR systems such as the applicant tracking system, and whose capabilities can be customized to the needs of your organization.”)

The following harmed my career in the federal government: I did not become a veteran. I did not become a Democrat. I did not become a yes-man. I refused to help my Democrat superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees because they were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and had not made GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.

In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

— Buttigieg, a military vet, says Trump pretended to be disabled to dodge the draft The Democratic presidential hopeful said that the president’s conduct resulted in someone else going to war in his place. – Josh Lederman (DIERSEN: Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have viciously used against me my seeking and obtaining student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They stress that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I drove a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint 1966-1967, a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 1967-1968, a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE 1968-1971, and a new 1972 Corvette since 1971. They stress that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 and a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974. They stress that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I earned a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and then took graduate business courses. They stress that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, a) I earned almost 3 years of both Social Security (SS) and Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) credits while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, b) I earned SS credits while I worked for Firestone Stores 1970-1972, and c) I started earning more CSRS credits working for IRS in 1971. They stress that while my peers were dying in Vietnam, I went on vacations in 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1975, etc.)

DAILY HERALD
— How much money do you need to be wealthy in America? – Suzanne Woolley (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who since 1966, when I was 17 years old, have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being wealthy. They stressed that in today’s dollars, my part-time Post Office salary was $17.23/hour in 1969, that my IRS salary was $93,592/year in 1980, and that my GAO salary was $127,654/year in 1997. They stressed that at the end of 1977, in today’s dollars, my net worth was $203,600. They stressed the new cars that I bought in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. and the collector cars that I bought in 1989 and 1994. They stressed the real estate that I bought in 1972, 1974, and 1976; the home that my wife and I bought in 1978; and the home that we had built in 1984. They stressed the money that I spent to earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970; master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997; and professional certifications in 1979 and 1981. They stressed the money that my wife and I saved for our retirement.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190518/how-much-money-do-you-need-to-be-wealthy-in-america
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Merely having a net worth of $1 million, it seems, doesn’t mean you’re wealthy. In Charles Schwab’s annual Modern Wealth Survey, the amount people said it took to be considered rich averaged out to $2.3 million. That, the company said, is “more than 20 times the actual median net worth of U.S. households.” It’s also a very slight drop from the $2.4 million average in the two previous iterations of the survey. The older one gets, the higher the bar goes, predictably. Among baby boomers (roughly age 55 to 73), the average net worth you need to be considered wealthy is $2.6 million, 35% higher than what millennials envision as the admission price to the plutocracy. For someone to be deemed merely financially comfortable, the required net worth shrinks significantly. The average amount was $1.1 million, and only Generation Z (about age 9 to age 22, though Schwab’s sample was 18 to 22) cited a number below $1 million ($909,600, to be exact.) The Schwab survey, which took a national sample of 1,000 Americans between the ages of 21 and 75, also revealed that the majority of Americans really crave real estate. More than 50% of respondents across generations said that if they got a $1 million windfall, they’d spend it, and the most popular purchase would be a place to live — particularly among millennials (roughly age 22 to 37).)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A growing number of federal appeals courts are recognizing that nefarious employers are using subjective criteria to justify discriminatory hiring decisions. This has been an epic problem for decades in age discrimination litigation, where it is not unusual for workers with objectively superior qualifications to be passed over in favor of candidates who are deemed a better “cultural fit.” This month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit joined four other federal circuits to rule that an employer may not defend a discrimination charge with “vague” and “slippery” reasons because of the “intolerable risk that a nefarious employer will use [them] as a cover for discrimination.” The court said employers must articulate “specific reasons” for employment decisions, such as “the candidate’s ‘seniority, length of service in the same position, personal characteristics, general education, technical training, experience in comparable work or any combination’ of such criteria.”)

My mother never attended high school. I bought my first car, a 1958 Chevy BelAir, as soon as turned 16 in 1964.)

SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE
— Journalists, political operatives seek records and ‘opposition research’ on Pete Buttigieg – Jeff Parrott (DIERSEN: Should I do some opposition research on those who demonize, denigrate, and condemn me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails?) 
https://www.southbendtribune.com/news/politics/journalists-political-operatives-seek-records-and-oppo-research-on-pete/article_5911be7b-8f87-5dfa-b120-1af6ba238b16.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Research isn’t cheap and it’s not easy,” said Di Resta, president and CEO of The Maccabee Group. “You don’t do that if you don’t believe someone is a real contender.” Di Resta, who teaches a course on opposition research at George Washington University, said “oppo research” isn’t new but has become more “institutionalized.” “This is standard operating procedure now when either the mayor or a city commissioner decides to run for office,” he said. “It’s pretty standard to see these Freedom of Information Act requests going out.” Di Resta noted congressional communications are not subject to FOIA, “so the big-name senators won’t undergo the same level of scrutiny when it comes to FOIAs as the mayor, which is an interesting angle because here’s a guy who’s supposedly not experienced enough or whatever, but all his communications are eligible to be reviewed by opponents.” None of the records requestors would comment for this story when contacted by The Tribune.)
